What can your Lodge do to help teach
these values totomorrow's Phoenixmasons?

1. Provide a meeting place and
promote a good program for a Cub Scout Pack and/or Boy Scout Troop.

4. Support "Scouting for Food" and other
fund raising efforts of Boy Scouts.

What can you as an
individual Phoenixmason do to help our childrenin Scouting?

1. Volunteer to be a Scout Leader.
Without adult leadership there can be no Boy Scouts. There is a variety of
jobs--everything from unit leaders to chairmen of troop committees, committee members,
merit badge counselors, and chartered organization representatives.

3. Support "Scouting for Food" and other
fund raising efforts of Boy Scouts. To learn more about Boy Scouting, or to find out how
to start, join, or support a troop, contact the BSA council in your area. To find your
